After watching about 14 episodes of Heroes, I think I have seen enough. Heroes seems to contain a few good quotes and a few hints on pk, but it seems to be more focused on violence, murder and becoming lost in everyday lives. From a psionics point of view, it looks a bit amateurish. But that's just my personal opinion .
There's a piece of art that I think expresses the gentleness, gratitude, belief and power of imagination for pk. The Secret of Kells, inspired by The Book of Kells.
@owltwelve: Have you seen Hero (Ying xiong)? Edit: I think I have already asked the same question before. You probably have. Anyway, if anyone else hasn't seen it, I really loved it. Though, the clips that owltwelve posted have more to do with pk than Ying xiong.

Yes, I saw Hero a few years back. My favorite seen is the fight in the rain between Jet Li & Donny Yen:) I've been meaning to see The Secret of Kells as well though. Thanks for the cool reminder.
I must admit, that I became bored with the show heroes after a while as well. I didn't think the writing was that good. Also there were to many characters for it to develop into something which felt real to me:)
Something interesting which always annoys me is characters who reject superpowers, unless the power harms them in some way. If you think about it, people generally make use of skills & advantages. For example, I can draw, and I use this advantage to make a living. Some people are blessed with beauty, or above average intelligence, & use thaose advantages. Why would it be different with superpowers?

Although it seems to be about religious belief, the main character in "Adam's apples" seems to have awesome manifestation abilities. It's as if he's subconsciously trying to help himself, while consciously fighting back (assuming that life is supposed to be hard).
It's somewhat brutal, but one of the few films that have made me cry.

Ah! You're not strong enough for Yuria's love, lol; I love it!!!
Wow! This sure takes me back & also dates me, since I remember when the original was new, hahaha My dojo brothers and I we're reading the Fist of the Northstar manga to inspire our training. They get into healing techniques & everything else:)

Watched a pirated edition of "Milarepa" (2006) yesterday. It's compressed a lot (and a lot has been left out), but it features some pk and hints at enlightenment as well.
